New website of Anti-Violence Network of Milan

Gender-based violence. In Milan there is a Network thet fight it every day.

The website of the Milan City Council Anti-Violence Network, where you can learn about the Network, its members, its services and the support offered to women who suffer violence and mistreatment is finally online. The site is the crowning achievement of the long-standing collaboration between the anti-violence centres that have been working in Milan to help and support women for more than twenty years.

The site briefly presents the characteristics and different types of gender-based violence, highlights the effects it has on those who are subjected to it and indicates the main regulatory references on the subject.

On the map of Milan you can find the location of the Centres and their contact details.

Today the Network comprises 13 entities and is co-ordinated by the Municipality of Milan, to help women and children to escape from, and rebuild a life away from, violence.

Creating mosaics: an in-depth meeting for cultural mediators

To mark the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, 25 November, the Milan City Council Anti-Violence Network is organizing an in-depth study and training meeting for cultural mediators with an interest in the issue.

The meeting will be held on Friday 27 November 2020 from 9.00 to 13.00 on the Zoom platform.

The primary objective is to build a long-lasting relationship with women mediators, which would allow them to offer foreign women targeted interventions tailored to their specific needs. Gender violence is a widespread but often submerged phenomenon. For women from other cultures, this phenomenon is accentuated by a number of factors including language, lack of knowledge of services and rights, and the possible relational isolation in which they often live.

Participation is free.

Application for the course is open up to 25/11/2020 and can be made by filling in the participation form on this link.
